Winning Awards Rules!

Moments Matter

Effort wants acknowledgement. Achievement earns ribbons. And applause deserves appreciation.

All praise to God, alhamdulillah, thank you Amira,  jazakallaahu khairan, for clothing my skeletal Autobiography and weblog with a fine wardrobe from your Trophy closet!

A newbie to the blogging scene – yet to complete two months as at 2 July 2013, with less than 20 posts in the kitty – I initially thought it was nothing to write home about… until I set out to find 15 worthy nominees!

That’s when the U2 moment set in…

“I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm ’til you discover how deep
I wasn’t jumping, for me it was a fall
It’s a long way down to nothing at all

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It’s just a moment
This time will pass”

Hidden Rewards

Since the day I received these heart-warming trophies 2 July 2013, I somewhat grudgingly shelved blogging temporarily and set out on a cyberspace expedition, pretty much like the mythical Santa Clause, in search of those who’ve been naughty or nice…

But unlike Santa boy, I was in for an unexpected reward.

In addition to discovering some truly worthwhile and sometimes spectacular blogs amidst the clatter and clamour, I realized with growing delight, the real benefit of these trophies: providing and receiving traffic through honourable means.

Seriously, what’s better than fair give and take?

I bear witness – winning blogging awards rules!

Make the Right Effort: Pass it on.

Congratulations and cheers lovely people!
